Algebraic equation is a mathematical way of expressing the way in which two expression are set equal to each other with given conditions. Using the algebraic equation we get that the age of the ms. Ford was exactly twice as old as ms. Lincoln. before 22 years ago.
Given-
The age of the Ms. Ford is 48.
The age of the Ms. Lincoln is 35.
Algebraic equation is a mathematical way of expressing the way in which two expression are set equal to each other with given conditions.
Let x years ago the age of the ms. Ford was exactly twice as old as ms. Lincoln.
Thus x years ago the age of the ms. Ford was [tex](45-x)[/tex]
x years ago the age of the ms. Lincoln was [tex](35-x)[/tex].
Make a equation using the given information. As the x years ago the age of the ms. Ford was exactly twice as old as ms. Lincoln. Therefore,
[tex](48-x)=2(35-x)[/tex]
[tex]48-x=70-2x[/tex]
[tex]2x-x=70-48[/tex]
[tex]x=22[/tex]
Hence, the age of the ms. Ford was exactly twice as old as ms. Lincoln. before 22 years ago.
